When the rapid-fire mortar and heavy machine guns under his command were ready, a specially drawn infantry company was also ready, and at this time, Wen Zuoxin ordered the troops to attack.

First, rapid-fire mortars launched intensive shelling, and many rapid-fire mortars fired dozens of shells in a short period of time, and these shells could fall directly into the enemy's trenches to kill and injure the opponent with a high-angle trajectory.

At the same time, infantry units began to leap forward rapidly, using craters and other difficult terrain to break through.

At this time, the enemy's infantry, also braving the shelling of rapid-fire mortars, began to use the trenches as cover to shoot and intercept.

And at this time, a number of heavy machine guns, which had been prepared for a long time, began to strafe the enemy trenches!

This kind of strafing, in fact, the hit rate will be very low, most of the bullets either fly by, or hit sandbags and other fortifications, and the actual hit of the enemy will not be too many.

However, after the intensive strafing of the heavy machine guns, the enemy soldiers who had just fired back dared to show their heads, and they all shrank back one by one, trying to wait for the heavy machine guns on the opposite side to stop before they came out and fired back.

However, this is what the attackers want, not to kill or injure many enemy troops, but to suppress the enemy's firepower.

Taking advantage of the brief period of stagnation in the defenders' firepower, the assault troops quickly advanced, and it did not take long to act as a few dozen meters away from the enemy's first line of defense.

Immediately afterwards, I saw these attacking soldiers lying on the ground, throwing grenades one by one towards the enemy trench positions in front!

Although the grenade of this year is a black powder charge, the power is far from comparable to the grenade during World War I and World War II, but it is also a grenade, which falls into the trench and is still full of lethality.

After this grenade was thrown, the officers of the attacking unit had already brandished their sabers and ordered the troops to directly mount their bayonets and launch a final charge.

At the same time, most of these officers also rushed forward with sabers, new revolvers and soldiers under their command.

A brutal white-knuckle battle ensued, with soldiers on both sides battling each other's courage with bayonets.

However, this white-knuckle battle did not last long, and in just a dozen seconds, the remaining soldiers of the opposing side were already scrambling to abandon this first trench and run towards the rear.

White-knuckle warfare requires too much courage and soldiers, and it is easy for the weaker side to completely collapse and flee en masse.

And this battle looks extremely fierce, but in fact it is just a civil war, for this kind of civil war, whether it is the Imperial Army or the soldiers of the Pingnan Prefecture Army on the opposite side, they are actually very tacit.

If you win, you will rush forward, if you can't fight, you will run, if you can't run, you will surrender, and there are still relatively few cases of real desperateness.

Regardless of the Battle of the Southern Front of Jingzhou or the Battle of Jingshi, the casualties of the soldiers on both sides were not large, and the main casualties of the enemy and us were basically artillery casualties or casualties of medium and long-range shooting.

On the side of the Imperial Army, the situation is better, because the officers are all the graduates of the Luo'an Military Academy, and the graduates of the current Daheng Imperial Army Military Academy are all young people who have undergone in-depth study of ideological and political courses.

My mind is full of thoughts such as unification, Daheng, and who else I am.

It's the kind of people who don't want to die when they start a war.

And even if you don't want to die, you still force your subordinate soldiers to die.

One of them, which is not known to outsiders, but the actual data that exists can clearly show this, at least 5% of the casualties of the Imperial Army in the major battles, were not killed and wounded by the enemy, but by their own warlords.

For example, when the heavy machine gun unit is attacking, the main combat task of the heavy machine gun unit is to suppress the enemy's infantry firepower, and the secondary task is to act as a combat team.

If the attacking troops dare to retreat without an order, then the heavy machine guns behind them will not hit the enemy, but these routs who retreat without permission.

A similar situation will occur in almost every battle!

It's just that in order to avoid shaking the morale of the military and the like, this kind of thing is generally kept secret.

This time, Wen Zuoxin personally planned the offensive operation, but did not let the heavy machine gun unit play the role of the supervising team, and the attacking force successfully entered the enemy's position, and then captured the enemy's position through a brutal and short white-knives battle.

It didn't take long for Wen Zuoxin to command other troops to cooperate with the battle one after another, and finally completely captured this enemy defense line.

After capturing the enemy's first line of defense, Wen Zuoxin ordered his troops to slow down a little and begin to treat the wounded, rereplenish ammunition, and build a defensive line to prevent the enemy from counterattacking.

And he himself took a couple of staff officers to inspect the newly occupied positions.

When he inspected the position, he also saw the corpses of many dead personnel on both sides of the enemy, if it was when he had just graduated from the military academy and entered the army, he would have vomited on the spot when he saw such a tragic phenomenon, but now, he has turned a blind eye and listened to the reports of the officers under his command.

"Regiment commander, this time the assault force is equipped with a centralized pistol, the effect is very good, is it another batch of up!" A young officer with some mud on his face and the rank of sergeant on his shoulder said: "If we also issue this kind of pistol to the soldiers of ordinary troops, this kind of close-range combat advantage in capturing trenches will be even greater in the future!" ”

Listening to the words of his subordinates, Wen Zuoxin also took out his own matching gun from the pouch on his waist, and shook his head at the same time: "The pistol is only an auxiliary weapon, and it is impossible to distribute too much." ”

His subordinates want more rifled pistols, the same one in his hand!

It was still a six-round revolver, which continued to use the revolver structure, but with a rifled barrel and a nine-mm all-metal short-barreled bullet, which made it easier to reload, easier to shoot, and less recoiled.

More importantly, the accuracy has increased dramatically, and its effective range has increased.

When this new pistol was first developed, it was actually used as a cavalry pistol, but people are not as good as heaven, and with a large number of rifled guns, cavalry will use pistols to fight even less, even if it is a new type of rifled pistol.

However, even so, this 52-year-old revolver still became the standard pistol of the Imperial Army, widely distributed to cavalry and artillery units, and was also widely distributed to officers of various units for use as officers' guns.

However, Wen Zuoxin felt that this pistol was a bit useful, so he applied for a batch of them before, and at the same time, he concentrated the guns of the officers of his subordinate units and distributed them to a company's sharp knife troops, so as to enhance their firepower in close combat.

But he didn't think about mass-dispensing such pistols!

It's useless to think about it, the higher authorities will not approve the large-scale equipping of ordinary soldiers with such weapons as pistols!

This has nothing to do with the performance of the pistol itself, only with the cost performance.

After all, the pistol is only an auxiliary weapon, and can only be used to a limited extent in specific situations, and most of the time it is just a decoration.

Therefore, it is impossible to distribute it to ordinary soldiers on a large scale, and the cost performance is too low!
